Christian Byrne 3ee921119d fix: loader node widget value shows placeholder instead of filename on cloud (#7005)
Fixes issue on cloud where the Loader node dropdowns showed placeholder
values (after refresh) in the widget UI despite a value being loaded.

Cloud loader dropdowns hydrate via `useAssetWidgetData(nodeType)`, so
`dropdownItems` stays empty until the Asset API returns friendly
filenames. Meanwhile `modelValue` already holds the saved asset and the
watcher only tracks `modelValue`:
df653d6ce1/src/renderer/extensions/vueNodes/widgets/components/WidgetSelectDropdown.vue (L215-L226)

This watcher runs before assets load, fails to find a match, clears
`selectedSet`, and the placeholder persists:


df653d6ce1/src/renderer/extensions/vueNodes/widgets/components/WidgetSelectDropdown.vue (L222-L224)

Once the assets API resolves, `dropdownItems` recomputes but nothing
resyncs because the watcher never sees that change. Desktop doesn’t hit
this because it still reads from `widget.options.values` immediately.

Fixes loader dropdown placeholder
===============================
Cloud loader dropdowns hydrate via `useAssetWidgetData(nodeType)`, so `dropdownItems` stays empty until the Asset API returns friendly filenames. Meanwhile `modelValue` already holds the saved asset and the watcher at [WidgetSelectDropdown.vue#L215-L227](https://github.com/Comfy-Org/ComfyUI_frontend/blob/main/src/renderer/extensions/vueNodes/widgets/components/WidgetSelectDropdown.vue#L215-L227) only tracks `modelValue`. It runs before assets load, fails to find a match, clears `selectedSet`, and the placeholder persists.
```ts
watch(
modelValue,
(currentValue) => {
if (currentValue === undefined) {
selectedSet.value.clear()
return
}
const item = dropdownItems.value.find((item) => item.name === currentValue)
if (item) {
selectedSet.value.clear()
selectedSet.value.add(item.id)
}
},
{ immediate: true }
)
```
Once the API resolves, `dropdownItems` recomputes but nothing resyncs because the watcher never sees that change. Desktop doesnt hit this because it still reads from `widget.options.values` immediately.
